background: trinitrotoluene (tnt) is one of the most well-known and oldest explosive agents. in the recent decade, bioenvironmental, biochemical, and biological effects of tnt exposure have been more in the spotlight. in this study, we aimed to evaluate spirometric parameters in workers of a tnt factory exposed to tnt and other related fumes and dusts compared with the unexposed controls. metho...

A virtual factory integrated manufacturing system combined with system simulation and virtual reality is introduced in this paper. We describe the system architecture and development methodology, provide the working principle of process simulation and monitoring in virtual factory, and then explain the detailed applications of virtual factory integrated manufacturing system. With the visualizat...

Nowadays, knowledge has a major role in factory efficiency. The integration of knowledge and decision support systems in the whole factory process appears as a key for the factory of the future. The basic concept of our research work is facilitating interactions between the human being in critical working situations and information set in the factory. Our proposition is to develop a “digital fa...

background: textile factory is among the most common manufacturing industries that has higher rate of work-related injuries. knowing the associated factors of work-related injuries can be a critical step for improving the working condition of workers in the sector. objective: to assess the major determinants of occupational injury among workers in kombolcha textile factory, north-east ethiopia....

This paper approaches the issue of coordination of highly autonomous Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) working on an automated factory. These vehicles are used for goods delivery tasks between di erent points of the production system. The coordination is based on a decentralized architecture where each vehicle broadcasts the information about its state in the working environment, and by combinin...

Abstract—Soil samples were collected from and around Alkomos cement factory, Alkomos town, Libya. Soil physiochemical properties were determined. In addition, olive leaves were scanned for their fungal content. This work can conclude that the results obtained for the examined physiochemical characteristics of soil in the area studied prove that cement dust from the Alkomos cement factory in Lib...
